Analysts say that the increase in gasoline prices comes a drop in SUV sales and trade-in values at dealerships.The U.S. Department of energy said that during the past week, U.S. gasoline topped $3 a gallon - the highest level since October 2008.
According to Alec Gutierrez,lead analyst for vehicle evaluation at Kelley Blue Book, SUV sales have decreased about 1 percent since the last major gasoline price hike in spring 2008. He doesn't believe that SUV sales will decrease significantly unless prices reach $3.50 to $4 per gallon.
if a gasoline price hike of 5 percent caused the SUV sales drop described, what is the cross-price elasticity of demand between gasoline and SUVs?

Population change Prices of related goods Expected future prices, income, and creditarrow_forwardAnother supply and demand puzzle The market price of pizzas in a college town decreased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price decrease. Some students suggest that the price decreased because the price of dough, an important ingredient for making pizzas, has decreased. Other students attribute the decrease in the price of pizzas to a recent decrease in the price of hamburgers at local burger joints. Everyone agrees that the decrease in the price of hamburgers was caused by a recent decrease in the price of ground beef, which is not generally used in making pizzas. Assume that pizza parlors and burger joints are entirely separate entities—that is, there aren't places that serve both pizzas and hamburgers. The first group of students thinks the decrease in the price of pizzas is due to the fact that the price of dough, an important ingredient for making pizzas, has decreased.

The price of wheat especially had increased at an alarming rate of around 200% from 2008 to the end of 2009. The prices of maize (corn) and rice had also escalated. In November 2009, the Indian government reported that annual rise in food price was 21%, the price of pulses (lentils) had risen by over 30% and so had sugar prices. In Pakistan, food prices had also increased to a record high amidst claims of hoarding by grain processors and retailers. Usually, price changes for cereals can be attributed to short-term variations in supply caused by bad weather conditions. This was not the case for the latest price increases which were caused largely by demand side factors which included: the rising demand for meat in the fast growing economies of China and India; large quantities of grain are needed to feed…arrow_forward
- 15. Another supply and demand puzzle The market price of pizzas in a college town decreased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price decrease. Some students suggest that the price decreased because several new pizza parlors have recently opened in the area. Other students attribute the decrease in the price of pizzas to a recent increase in the price of beer. Everyone agrees that the increase in the price of beer was caused by a recent increase in the price of grain, which is not generally used in making pizzas. The first group of students thinks the decrease in the price of pizzas is due to the fact that several new pizza parlors have recently opened in the area. On the following graph, adjust the supply and demand curves to illustrate the first group’s explanation for the decrease in the price of pizzas.

On the demand side, per capita consumption has decreased by almost one half, and the use of potatoes has shifted due to changes in the preferences of consumers. Consumption of table stock and processed potatoes has shifted towards greater and other complementary products. On the supply side, domestic production levels of potatoes decreased by over 30 percent, while the number of potato farmers decreased by more than 75 percent over the same period. Against this background of significant changes in the domestic consumption levels, patterns and production of potatoes, this paper examines the effect of these factors on potato price levels and variability. Farm level price and volatility is a concern for several reasons, as it poses challenges for business planning, debt repayment, and, in some cases, solvency.
